FAQ
How much does it cost to restore a classic car/truck?
There are many different considerations that go into a full restoration project, such as current condition of the vehicle, what direction you plan to go with the build, (concours original, resto-mod or custom hot-rod) and what your intended use for the vehicle will be once completed. A typical 1960s muscle car project, in average shape completed in our shop is going to cost anywhere from $60,000 to $90,000 which is about 700-1000 hours of labor, while a rare Packard with more problems and specialty options could be as high as 1200-3000 hours of labor which is about $100,000.00-$280,000.00. (Our labor rate is $100.00)
There are many factors that affect pricing
-the overall condition of the body and frame.
-just how rare is the car, and can we locate parts for it?
-how many parts does it need?
-the quality of the restoration, did you want a 100 point show car?
-exotic upholstery and convertible top choices.
-powertrain components that may not be salvagable.
-sophisticated powertrain and chassis upgrades.
-a car that is 30 - 75 years old, has hidden problems.
